Researchers at Purdue University have discovered sinuous flow deformation in metals, and an astonishingly simple method to suppress this deformation. This discovery could help advance manufacturing by increasing the efficiency of machining, and by reducing the energy and force required for metal processing.
Brown University researchers have used robust computer simulations to predict that a combination of hafnium, tantalum, and carbon (Hf-Ta-C) could result in a material with a very high melting point of over 4400K or 7460°F, which is two-thirds the sun’s surface temperature.
Dr. Zelalem N. Urgessa, a post doctoral student with the Nano Photonics Group in the Department of Physics of the Nelson Mandela Metropolitan University, is this year’s winner of the Division for Physics of Condensed Matter and Materials competition for the Goodfellow Award for Best Publication by a PhD Student in the field of condensed matter and materials.
Researchers at Karolinska Institutet, Sweden, and Aalto University, Finland, have developed a new technique to synthesize 3D nanostructures from DNA.
Engineers and physicists at the University of Pennsylvania have discovered a new chiral property of silicon. They have demonstrated this property in a silicon-based photonic device that is sensitive to the spin of photons in laser light shone onto one of its electrodes.
Researchers at Florida State University (FSU) have developed new functional materials that behave exactly in the manner desired. These ‘materials by design’ have tailored properties and well-defined structures that make them desirable for various applications, including light-controlling devices and molecular sensors.
A new material has been developed at University of Texas at Arlington by mixing ceramics and modifying molecular structures. The advanced material is less brittle but retains the strength of ceramics, and is hoped to find application in power plants and on spacecraft.
Deben, a leading provider of in-situ testing stages together with innovative accessories and components for electron microscopy, report on the use of the CT500 tensile stage in the X-ray microtomography laboratory at La Trobe University in Melbourne, Australia.
A team of researchers at Michigan Technological University has discovered an innovative approach to allow light waves to pass through a lens and protect them from being consumed.
A research team from the University of California, San Diego has demonstrated the trapping of light inside nanoscale granules of hexagonal boron nitride, a crystalline material that has fascinated researchers considerably. The team was led by physics professor, Michael Fogler.
